Sriracha Chocolate Bar Does Seem Like A Good Idea

By David Ponce on 01/31/13 • Leave a comment!

sriracha_chocolate_bar_1

Last time we wrote about the Rooster Sauce, it was in regards to a seemingly delicious popcorn creation. Since then we’ve come to realize that people really do feel quite strongly about the spicy condiment, so what better than to introduce you to Sriracha Chocolate. First of all, we’ve tasted chocolate mixed with chilies, and we have to say that the combination is great. Have you watched ‘Chocolat’, with Juliette Binoche and Judi Dench? No? Well, it was our first introduction to the concept, and they were right: it works. So then, a Sriracha Chocolate Bar would seem like a match made in heaven. Right?

Well, they say the proof is in the pudding, and even if it looks good on paper, we can’t be sure it’s good until we try it. Or one of you does, and reports back. It’s $8, at Thinkgeek.

Maple Bacon Chocolate Sauce Is The Ultimate Taste Trifecta

By David Ponce on 01/28/13 • Leave a comment!

Perhaps it’s a Canadian affectation, but I firmly believe that the maple-bacon flavor combination is as perfect and complementary as peanut butter and chocolate, or peanut butter and jam. The tastes are meant for each other, inseparable in aroma as some characters are in fiction: Bonnie and Clyde, Ren and Stimpy, or Tom and freaking Jerry come to mind. The Maple Bacon Chocolate sauce you see above not only combines the smoky-sweet goodness of maple-bacon, but layers it over a thick, sirupy base of chocolate. And just like that, you’ve got yourself the kind of concoction you’re going to be wanting to put on everything: pancakes, French toast, regular toast, french fries, on bacon, in your coffee, smeared all over your face in a maple-bacon-choloate induced nervous breakdown.

Each jar contains 5 ounces, which isn’t a whole lot. And it’s $10 per jar, which is a lot. But hey: maple. Bacon. Chocolate!

The Ketchup Presser Helps You Get the Most Out of Each Ketchup Packet

By Hazel Chua on 01/22/13 • Leave a comment!

Ketchup Presser

I like how they package ketchup into packets so you can take some of the condiment with you on the go or have some with your take-out fries. The slightly annoying thing about it is that you have to roll the packet up and squeeze with all your might to get every bit of ketchup out. Well, here’s some good news: There’s a new design out for French fries containers that comes with this little tab on the side that can help you with your ketchup packet woes.

All you have to do is insert the packet into the slot and press on the tab while pulling the packet out onto the other end to get all of the ketchup out and onto the cardboard container. No excessive squeezing and no need to roll anything up. Plus the fact that it’s just ‘built into’ the fries box makes everything a lot more convenient.

Cookie Cup Lets You Drink Your Coffee–And Eat It Too

By Hazel Chua on 01/04/13 • Leave a comment!

Cookie Cup

When stuff like burger wrappers become edible, you kind of get the feeling that more things are bound to follow suit. After all, who’d have thunk it? I’m still iffy over the whole edible wrapper thing though, although I am kind of curious.

Hot on its heels, though, are these edible cookie cups that aren’t that much unusual since they are just basically cookies. They’re still extremely creative and will probably be very appealing to coffee drinkers who love to chew on some cookies while they sip their joe.

Now You Can Have Your Burger–And Eat the Wrapper, Too

By Hazel Chua on 12/28/12 • 4 Comments

Edible Burger Wrapper

For years, burger wrappers have been a necessary evil. They’re great for packing up burgers so you can eat them on the go and not get any mayo on your hands, but they’re not very good for the environment. Did you know that consumers in the US threw away 75 million tons of packaging waste in 2011? That includes burger wrappers among a host of other packaging stuff–but 75 million tons? That’s a lot.

So what would you think if I told you that we could take burger wrappers out of the bin and actually eat them with the burger?

This Ain’t Your Childhood’s PB&J: Face-Melting Instant Regret Peanut Butter

By David Ponce on 12/11/12 • 2 Comments

The Instant Regret peanut butter is aptly named: it’s infused with so much capsaicin (the active ingredient that makes something spicy) that we’re having trouble believing there isn’t a typo somewhere, and if there isn’t, you’re guaranteed to regret its ingestion! See, Instant Regret peanut butter is rated at 12 million SHU on the Scoville Scale. That… is troubling. Police grade pepper spray is somewhere in the vicinity of 2 million SHU. The last time we reported on some spicy thing, it was Timmy’s Great Balls of Fire which rated at a tame 1 million SHU. To further the perspective, a Habanero pepper is around 200,000 SHU, and Taco Bell’s Fire Sauce 500. So, 12 million SHU is quite a few orders of magnitude higher. The ingredients are as follows:

Peanuts, Sunflower Oil, Habanero, King Naga, 12m [SHU] Chilli Extract, Sugar Syrup, Salt

Yeah, so there you have it. Seriously spicy peanut butter. We still think there may be some typo, as some of our readers will undoubtedly express skepticism. We would suggest one of you try it out and report back to us, but we worry about encouraging any activity that might result is injury.

It’s £7 or about $12 a jar.

Atomic Fallout Burger: Wear Gloves, Sign a Waiver, and Say Your Prayers Before Eating It

By Hazel Chua on 12/10/12 • Leave a comment!

Atomic Fallout Burger

A burger that requires you to wear gloves and sign a waiver before you eat it? Sounds pretty scary (but intriguing) to me. It looks like a typical burger, but that’s where its similarities to a Big Mac end because this one is a zinger.

It’s called the Atomic Fallout Burger for good reason. Aside from the fact that it’s got a pound of meat sandwiched in between two deep-fried mini pizzas, it’s also extremely hot, hot, hot. A rich 3-pepper sauce has been slathered on the meat, and somewhere in between all its layers lie two of the hottest peppers known to man: the ghost pepper and the Scotch bonnet.

The burger ranks 1,000,000 on the Scoville scale so if you’ve got a weak stomach (and a weak heart), then this is not for you. Only 500 people have attempted to eat the burger, and of these people, only 1 in 10 have succeeded.

Forever Alone: Christmas Dinner In A Can

By David Ponce on 11/23/12 • 2 Comments

Christmas, also known as the two month period between the end of Halloween and December 25, is upon us. With it comes endless consumerism, endless gluttony and the requisite family gatherings. They’re great, except when they aren’t. Know what we mean? Wish to skip? You don’t have to go all-in and skip on the food too. The Hot Can above isn’t a frozen dinner that you pop in the microwave. This is a self-heating can of “Turkey casserole with winter veg, chipolatas, stuffing balls and cranberry jelly.” That my friends, is Christmas. In a can. A self-heating can. Which you can eat all by your lonesome self if you so desire. No need to smile. No need to cook. Heck, no need to even wear clothes. No one said you couldn’t enjoy the Christmas spirit all by yourself.

Or, heck, enjoy it with others and serve the Dinner In A Can anyway! Cooking is very 2011. And, depending on your situation, this initiative will either delight or seriously worry your guests, both of which can be entertaining outcomes during the Holidays.

£6 or $10 will get you about 400g (roughly 1 lb.) of grub.

Custom-Made Gravy Boat Lets a Cat Puke All Over Your Food

By Hazel Chua on 11/05/12 • 5 Comments

Puke Cat Gravy Boat

Nobody wants to eat puke. Cat vomit doesn’t sound very appealing, either. So if you’re the type of person who gets a kick out of grossing people out with the food on your plate or with the stuff that you put into your mouth, then this gravy boat’s for you. While you definitely shouldn’t put real cat puke into it, you can whip up otherwise gross-looking sauces and syrups to pour over your grub to give people the illusion that your catty gravy boat is puking all over your food.

This Puking Kitty Gravy Boat was made by artist GingerELA, who described it as follows:

It’s a cat. It’s a gravy boat. It’s puking. It’s the first thing I’ve made for myself and I LOVE IT. Inspired by the barfing squirrel gravy boat posted on Laughing Squid, I just had to make my own.

Hit the break to watch a video of the cat ‘barfing’ all over her waffles!
